Time is filled with swift transition,
None, none on earth unmoved can stand
Build your hopes on things eternal
And then hold, hold unto God’s unchanging hand.
Lyrics by Jennie Wilson, 1904
Yes, we are living in some challenging times! Our headline news stories are changing very quickly. The state of our economy has dramatically impacted the price of basic essentials. Especially, the price of gas has everyone asking in their Missy Elliott voice, “Is it Worth it?” Although we have continued to experience unimaginable gun violence, substantive policy changes don’t appear to be in the near future. But God! We have to, as the lyrics state, Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
The scriptures tell us in Psalm 18:2, The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 34:19, Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the Lord delivers him out of them all. Psalm 121:1-2, I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
We may be experiencing trouble on every side. including in our homes; but we can find comfort, strength, peace, and joy in the book of Psalm in the Bible. Whatever you may be facing, you can find a Psalm for your situation. As always, thank you for your love and continued support! Join me in prayer to change hearts, heal our land, and for contentment and peace to not give up, just hold onto God’s unchanging hand! I am so thankful to each of you for joining me on this journey to re-imagine contentment in 2022!
Always look for the Remarkable in your life!
Dr. ReShone
